Hi, |

|
3 |
As part of my original plans for my GLEP27 implementation, I was |
4 |
going to have my scripts automatically add the users requested by a |
5 |
package (for example, the cron user), to all the passwd backends |
6 |
listsed in /etc/nsswitch.conf. However, in consultation with some |
7 |
folks, it seems that what may be more desirable is to just add |
8 |
users/groups to the local files/compat backends instead, and not make |
9 |
any changes to the remote databases. |
10 |
|
11 |
Does anyone have any strong notion of any cases where it would be |
12 |
excessively bad for the package manager to try adding to, say, the |
13 |
nss_nis backend in addition to the nss_files backend, or cases where |
14 |
that would be a strongly desired behavior? |
